Re: Basic Portugal recommendations

For a detour with some historic interest, you could visit the town of Evora with its catacombs and historic buildings. Forget beaches in march, it's The Atlantic. If you venture up the Douro, a once in a lifetime tasting could be at Qta do Mourao, I'm pretty sure only your wallet limits which of the...

Re: New box from Quinta do Mourão

I could not agree more with Andy.

It is quite frankly redicoulous how much material is being wasted on packaging, You would think that the producers in the Douro are completely deaf to the discussions on climate. [dash1.gif]

I had this wine last year , and I agree with you that it needs a massive decant or another 4-6 years in the cellar.

Re: Can I ask for your help, please

From a personal point of view, I find the lack of pricing on the website very anoying.

Obviously I know you and have met you on several occasions in Odense, so it wouldn't be a problem, but if that wasn't the case I would probably just go looking for other organisers that lets me compare prices.

How will this pair with desserts?
Generally speaking, your wine should be sweeter than the dessert.

So, if you have tried the wine before, you should be able to decide if it will work.

Ha-ha, tha Crasto's I'll see again in 10 years time or so, and the tawnys I'm selling something like 18-24 of them to others.
The Tawny's were only 11-12 Euros so not much can go wrong.

Re: 1997 Delaforce Quinta da Corte Vintage Port

I think the obvious answer would be that they are using a small amount of grapes that isn't from the quinta.
